Why Yahweh? (Or Allah, or Zeus, etc.)

[Darkstar]

Next in the title is Zeus.

To my knowledge, the earliest written records of substance re: Zeus were done by Homer and Hesiod. No miracles are attributed to these two. They're generally regarded as poets, not prophets. Hesiod was a writer in general, and also wrote on other topics - don't know about Homer.

Due to the time spans and other factors they obviously weren't writing as witnesses. They could have been as fiction or speculation. They could have been writing it as direct revelation from the gods. We don't really know their intent.

Even if intended as revelation, we have the same problem as Muhammed - no miracles even claimed as support.

So, evidence for the Greek gods is weaker than for Christianity.

First of all, the muslims have a counter-argument. http://darulfatwa.org.au/content/view/819/288/

Secondly, the miracles of the bible are not attributed to any of the authors. Jesus did not write any of the bible, so I do not see how miracle claims make the bible more valid. According to Islam, the very writing of the Qur'an was a miracle. (I think I've been spelling it wrong...) We know the Qur'an exists; is that proof of a miracle?
